Random Thoughts
So, I have been meaning to blog for awhile now, but just haven't found the time. And today I thought to myself, "Hey, I should go post something from Chrismtas." So I found a doozy picture of myself and was trying to figure it out and once again I have no idea how to post it. So, I am simply typing a message instead. Christmas was great - we got a new computer - a Mac, which is why I can't post pictures, but I will figure it out. However, I am glad Christmas is over, which is the first year I ever remember thinking that. Usually I am so so sad, but nope none of that this year. I might even get the trees down by February - maybe. This very scattered message is proof that my holidays have been hectic and crazy. And, now I am off to clean the bathtub so I can take a bath, which I am excited about - even the cleaning - unusual to say the least. Maybe I am changing. If so, I say "It's about time." There is nothing wrong with people who like to clean, I have just never been one of them. :)

Back to School
So finally, here are some back to school pics. I really did take them on the first day of school and hallelujah, they are finally on my blog. Which I am not sure if I should be excited about that. It would probably be better if they were scrapbooked, but baby steps, right?
This is Jainie, who obviously doesn't go to school. No, I did not put her in preschool. I just didn't have the heart, who would entertain me all day. (And you can see she is quite the entertainer). She is giving the "I love you" sign because when we drop off the kids at school that is what we wave to each other. She started doing that before she knew what it meant. So cute. (BTW, both Jaxon and Joshua are "too cool" to give us the sign when they are out of the car - ridiculous!)
Here is my Jakey Jake. He actually didn't have his first day until a week after the other kids for Kindergarten, but he was so excited! He loves his teacher and mostly school. Recess definitely rules!
Josh who is always so laid back and naturally cool was pretty nervous for his first day even though he is the oldest now at Ashman - 2nd grade. He is probably one of the tallest too, he has really sprouted this year - passed up Josie, but we won't talk about that, his older sister isn't too happy about it.
Oh, Jos, how are you growing up so fast. She is our only Pahvant'er this year - in the 4th grade. She is always the height of fashion and loves being the center of attention. Mrs. Roundy is her teacher and she has a roomful of friends - she will have a great year!
And, my big Jaxon, he is so excited to go to middle school, even though it means no more recess. He is a bit worried though, but he has developed into a very responsible, smart kid and he will do great. As long as his carpool isn't too late and makes him tardy every day. :)
So, that is us - 4 kids in school, 3 different schools, not bad, at least they are all close. In a couple years, I will have kids in all four schools. Whoa! Where did these kids come from?
My Jaxon is in Middle School, I can't even believe it! How does time go by so stinkin' fast. I will never catch up. All the kids thought it was awesome Jaxon gets his own locker and when picking him up, we had to go check it out. Anyway, this is his locker - the green one with the green lock right above him. Funny story really, I was talking to one of my friends who has a 6th grader and mentioned Jaxon hated his bottom locker. She replied that her daughter didn't like her top locker. So, I decided we should switch. And we did. A bit later, over the intercom someone says, "Will Janna Thalman please come to the office." I thought, "Wowee, I have never been called to the office in this school before" (and I did attend there for middle school). Anyway, the principal got bad at me for breaking school rules already. Apparently there is no changing of lockers. I do have to say though, I think I went up a couple notches in the cool chain for Jaxon, who else's mom gets called to visit with the principal. :)

Where did all the clothes come from?
So, this is a typical laundry day. I wish I could say I finished all the laundry with this picture, but unfortunately, I didn't. This was about 1/2. I can't figure out how my children got so many clothes. I never do Jared and my laundry the same day I do the kids, actually I never really finish the kids, it is a never-ending pile, so Jared's gets done when he needs work clothes and mine gets done when I need any clothes. :) Isn't life great!?!

Blogging!
So, this is my friend, Stefanie. She is a whiz at everything including computers. She noticed I was having a blogging problem so decided to come over and help me fix it. She has made it so I can actually blog without taking a year for one picture. So, thanks Stef, and forgive me for the great pic, it's the only one I have of you. And if anyone else wants to know, this is over the summer when at a swim meet for the kids, some friends and I dared and paid Stef to pretend to fall in the pool. Oh yeah, and then we pushed her too. :)

AAAAHHHH!!!!
I have no idea what I am doing. Will the picture be there now or did I erase it? I don't think I knew what an endeavor I was taking on with this blog thingy. I need an instruction manual, or better yet, a personal tutor. I have been on this stinkin' computer for at least 8 hours trying to publish another post with more pics. Notice I did finally change my background though - yeah!

This is Jared on Father's Day - with Josie, Jainie, and Joshua. I have decided to make a scrapbook this year with a picture everyday (an idea I got from my SIL Brooke - thanks Brooke). So, this is one of the pictures I took really quickly before the day ended. Jaxon & Jake wouldn't get in the picture.
Blogging!!
So, I am blogging, can you believe it? I definitely cannot. I never thought I would do this. But, I love looking at all of your blogs so I decided it is time for me to step it up. I was trying to upload a different image, but this is the only one I could find. At least it's cute. I am sure there will be a lot more baseball in the future. This is Joshua on 3rd trying to steal home (which is not even allowed in his league)! So cute and grown-up.
